Warm-up. Reading of the poem.

Let's remember Columbus 
In fourteen hundred and ninety - two 
Columbus sailed the ocean blue ...
Let's sing together this old song 
About the voyage that took him long, 
About the sailors, those strong brave men 
Let's sing and remember them all again.

Reading. Read the text and say what Christopher discovered in 1492 – a country or a continent.

THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA

In our days everybody knows what the word “America” means. First of all it is the name of the country – the United States of America – or just America. And then America is the name of the two continents – North America and South America. These two continents, North and South America, form the part of the world called America.
Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492.
“In fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue…”
This is a song that many children learn about Christopher Columbus and his journey to America.
We don’t know much about the man. He was born in Italy but lived in Spain for a long time. He was a seaman and made many sea voyages. In 1492 the King and the Queen of Spain gave him money to go to India. He decided to sail west as he was sure that our planet was round. And after sailing 4000 miles (6400 kilometers), he reached some land. Columbus thought that it must be India but it was not. It was America – Central America in fact. People began to speak about the land as “the New World”.
